husoi Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Just emailed Fife council and my local councillor for this. Maybe I can get free cones and a dedicated space for it. Then will let the council do the advertising Quote
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 If you can find a yard or place use surveyors spray paint, you only need to mark the stuff out once and can then incorporate it into your ride on the way out or back, you’ll be doing it with your eyes shut! Quote
husoi Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 My idea is to practice myself and help other rides in the area that may be interested Quote
husoi Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 RESULT!!! Fife council's "Lead Consultant (Parking Strategy & Operations)" agreed in supporting the initiative Part of the reply "I'm happy to support this, but there would be some requirements to ensure it's done safely for both participants and the public. We would need to receive an application for use of the car park which is something we often use for events. This would include information such as the number of participants, dates, duration, plans on managing other traffic safely, risk assessments and public liability insurance. It would also be the applicant's responsibility to place cones/signs/etc. during use." This to be progressed once restrictions are lifted and we can go around again.. 2 Quote
S-Westerly Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 See my grandchildren properly. Go out somewhere / anywhere on a whim. Eat out with family and friends. Tell any jobsworth who asks me what I'm doing to f**k off and die. Not bitter or anything...... 1 1 Quote

Silentbob83 Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I’d like to get a holiday in this year, not the end of the world if not. Just done my first full year as a kidney transplant patient, which meant from late 2018 I wasn’t allowed more than hour away from my hospital and have my bag packed ready just in case. 2020 was supposed to have a bit normality to it . Just looking forward to spending more time with my wife and kids to be honest (kids are 5 and 3), in a more healthier capacity. Edited January 19, 2021 by Silentbob83 Spelling 3 Quote

Steve_M Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 No biking plans for 2021. Having moved up North 18 months ago, I still haven’t really explored the area on the bike as much as I’d like, so that’s a to do. I think I’m due for my RoSPA 3 year retest this year so I’ll need to revise and practice for that. Away from the bike will be visiting the kids and my mum (better still, they can come and have a holiday here). Continue with renovating the house, build a polytunnel and raised beds to start growing our own vegetables. And get more time walking the fells in the Lake District. Quote

It was back in the '70s, pretty hardcore in those days. He did three 8-hour nights of haemodialysis at home every week on a machine the size of a public phone box. After his transplant, they put the machine into a museum - it was so out of date. 1 Quote
